ipv6: reject malicious packets in ipv6_gso_segment()

2025-08-15T10:09:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit d45cf1e7d7180256e17c9ce88e32e8061a7887fe ] syzbot was able to craft a packet with very long IPv6 extension headers leading to an overflow of skb->transport_header. This 16bit field has a limited range.

net: gro: fix udp bad offset in socket lookup by adding {inner_}network_offset to napi_gro_cb

2024-05-17T10:02:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5ef31ea5d053a8f493a772ebad3f3ce82c35d845 ] Commits a602456 ("udp: Add GRO functions to UDP socket") and 57c67ff ("udp: additional GRO support") introduce incorrect usage of {ip,ipv6}_hdr in the complete phase of gro. The functions always return skb->network_header, which in the case of encapsulated packets at the gro complete phase, is always set to the innermost L3 of the packet. That means that calling {ip,ipv6}_hdr for skbs which completed the GRO receive phase (both in gro_list and *_gro_complete) when parsing an encapsulated packet's _outer_ L3/L4 may return an unexpected value. This incorrect usage leads to a bug in GRO's UDP socket lookup. udp{4,6}_lib_lookup_skb functions use ip_hdr/ipv6_hdr respectively. These *_hdr functions return network_header which will point to the innermost L3, resulting in the wrong offset being used in __udp{4,6}_lib_lookup with encapsulated packets. This patch adds network_offset and inner_network_offset to napi_gro_cb, and makes sure both are set correctly. To fix the issue, network_offsets union is used inside napi_gro_cb, in which both the outer and the inner network offsets are saved. Reproduction example: Endpoint configuration example (fou + local address bind) # ip fou add port 6666 ipproto 4 # ip link add name tun1 type ipip remote 2.2.2.1 local 2.2.2.2 encap fou encap-dport 5555 encap-sport 6666 mode ipip # ip link set tun1 up # ip a add 1.1.1.2/24 dev tun1 Netperf TCP_STREAM result on net-next before patch is applied: net-next main, GRO enabled: $ netperf -H 1.1.1.2 -t TCP_STREAM -l 5 Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 131072 16384 16384 5.28 2.37 net-next main, GRO disabled: $ netperf -H 1.1.1.2 -t TCP_STREAM -l 5 Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 131072 16384 16384 5.01 2745.06 patch applied, GRO enabled: $ netperf -H 1.1.1.2 -t TCP_STREAM -l 5 Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 131072 16384 16384 5.01 2877.38 Fixes: a6024562ffd7 ("udp: Add GRO functions to UDP socket") Signed-off-by: Richard Gobert Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

net: gro: parse ipv6 ext headers without frag0 invalidation

2024-05-17T10:02:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit dff0b0161ad571f888d37f5e7163a07dcafdef60 ] The existing code always pulls the IPv6 header and sets the transport offset initially. Then optionally again pulls any extension headers in ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs and sets the transport offset again on return from that call. skb->data is set at the start of the first extension header before calling ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs, and must disable the frag0 optimization because that function uses pskb_may_pull/pskb_pull instead of skb_gro_ helpers. It sets the GRO offset to the TCP header with skb_gro_pull and sets the transport header. Then returns skb->data to its position before this block. This commit introduces a new helper function - ipv6_gro_pull_exthdrs - which is used in ipv6_gro_receive to pull ipv6 ext headers instead of ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs. Thus, there is no modification of skb->data, all operations use skb_gro_* helpers, and the frag0 fast path can be taken for IPv6 packets with ext headers.

IPv6/GRO: generic helper to remove temporary HBH/jumbo header in driver

2022-12-12T23:41:44+00:00

IPv6/TCP and GRO stacks can build big TCP packets with an added temporary Hop By Hop header. Is GSO is not involved, then the temporary header needs to be removed in the driver. This patch provides a generic helper for drivers that need to modify their headers in place.

net: gro: skb_gro_header helper function

2022-08-25T08:33:21+00:00

Introduce a simple helper function to replace a common pattern. When accessing the GRO header, we fetch the pointer from frag0, then test its validity and fetch it from the skb when necessary. This leads to the pattern skb_gro_header_fast -> skb_gro_header_hard -> skb_gro_header_slow recurring many times throughout GRO code. This patch replaces these patterns with a single inlined function call, improving code readability.
